Here are 10 of the most controversial celebrities who've made mistakes and then sought out a second chance.

Colin Farrell

Talented actor Colin Farrell has starred in several Blockbuster hits like Alexander, S.W.A.T, Minority Report and Miami Vice. He has developed as an actor in each role that he plays.

In December 2005, Farrell voluntarily checked into a rehabilitation treatment center for addictions to recreational drugs and painkillers.

Since then Farrell has continued to star in films and maintain his sobriety. In 2007, Farrell joined other celebrities to become an official games spokesman for the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai, China. Farrell has also lent his support to the anti-bullying campaign Stand Up! organized by the Irish LGBT youth organization BeLonG To in March 2012.
